Derrius Guice's slide down the draft board has ended with the Washington Redskins selecting him 59th overall.

The LSU running back was previously projected as a first-round pick but slipped to late in the second round. The Redskins even traded down from the 44th pick and nabbed Guice, whom they hope can be their featured back.

The first trade of the second round involved the Tennessee Titans, who jumped up a few spots in a deal with the Oakland Raiders, to take pass rusher Harold Landry out of Boston College with the 41st overall pick.

Landry was a first-round projection for some, but coming off a senior season hampered by injuries he ended up a second-day selection. At 6-foot-2 and 252 pounds, he is a bit undersized to line up solely at defensive end and might have to develop into an outside linebacker.

Miami grabbed Penn State's Mike Gesicki, the second tight end drafted overall with pick No. 42. The Detroit Lions made it three running backs in the first half of the second round when they took Auburn's Kerryon Johnson. San Francisco made it three straight offensive players, trading up with the Redskins to take receiver Dante Pettis from Washington.

The Green Packers used the 45th selection to take Iowa cornerback Josh Jackson, one of three players left in the green room at the draft. Only Texas offensive lineman Connor Williams and UCF star Shaquem Griffin remained in the green room at AT&T Stadium.

Two All-Americans have been chosen in the first five picks of the second round of the NFL draft: one from the FBS level, one in FCS. And both go to the same team.

Linebacker Darius Leonard of South Carolina State went fourth in the round to Indianapolis, which also had the next spot. Guard Braden Smith of Auburn was that choice.

The Cleveland Browns have added to their offense at the outset of the second round of the NFL draft.

Cleveland led off the proceedings with Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield on Thursday night. It also took cornerback Denzel Ward of Ohio State.

On Friday, offensive lineman Austin Corbett of Nevada and Georgia running back Nick Chubb were early selections for the team that lost all 16 games last season.

Corbett can play tackle, guard and center. He was a team captain as a sophomore.

Chubb, who shared duties with Sony Michel for the SEC champions - Michel went to New England as the 31st pick Thursday - Chubb is a load. He's tough in the short-yardage areas.

In between those choices, the Giants grabbed UTEP guard Will Hernandez. New York is in need of a revamped offensive line, particularly after taking Penn State running back Saquon Barkley with the second overall pick.
